Benefits of technology

[0048]According to the method of the present invention, a novel industrial production method for the nitrobenzene compound represented by general formula (2), useful as an intermediate for the synthesis of various organic compounds, is provided. According to the method of the present invention, the reaction can be completed using the aniline compound represented by general formula (1) as the raw material, using hydrogen peroxide, which is inexpensive, becomes harmless water after a reaction, and attracts attention as a clean and excellent oxidant, further using a tungsten compound, which is industrially easily available and inexpensive, and even without using high concentration hydrogen peroxide, which is difficult to handle and is hazardous.
[0049]In addition, in the method of the present invention, the nitrobenzene compound can be produced under mild conditions even without using a high risk organic peroxy acid such as peracetic acid or trifluoroperacetic acid.
[0050]Further, in the method of the present invention, the nitrobenzene compound can be simply implemented on an industrial scale with high yield and efficiency. Therefore, the method of the present invention is simple, has high safety, and is inexpensive, and therefore has a high industrial utility value.
[0051]Further, as the acid used to provide the acidic condition, it is not necessary to use phosphoric acid or the like, which may cause significant problems in environmental pollution, and the reaction can be conducted using hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or hydrobromic acid, a waste liquid of which does not cause problems with the environment when merely neutralized with sodium hydroxide or the like.

Problems solved by technology

However, when an attempt is made to conduct the oxidation of a 2,6-disubstituted aniline compound under the same conditions, the target 2,6-disubstituted nitrobenzene compound cannot be obtained with good yield (see Comparative Examples 1 and 2).
Therefore, conventionally, it has been necessary to use high concentration hydrogen peroxide, which requires much caution in work, and further use a high risk organic peroxy acid such as peracetic acid or trifluoroperacetic acid in order to obtain a 2,6-disubstituted nitrobenzene compound from a 2,6-disubstituted aniline compound (Non Patent Literature 1 and Non Patent Literature 2), and there has been no synthesis method for producing a 2,6-disubstituted nitrobenzene compound under mild conditions.

Production of 2,6-Dichloronitrobenzene

[0161]1.32 g (4.0 mmol) of sodium tungstate dihydrate and 4.0 g (40 mmol) of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to a solution of 16.2 g (100 mmol) of 2,6-dichloroaniline in 120 ml of methanol, and the mixture was heated to 40° C. 30 ml (291 mmol) of a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution was added dropwise over 10 hours. The pH value at this time was 0.5. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 9 hours. After the disappearance of the 2,6-dichloroaniline was confirmed by gas chromatography (area percentage method), a solution of 9.8 g (150 mmol) of 86% potassium hydroxide in 24.3 ml of methanol was added dropwise while the temperature of the reaction liquid was adjusted to 40° C. or less. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and the reaction was completed. After the completion of the reaction, 95 ml of toluene and 32 ml of water were added...
